Great voice and really tight instrumentation and production Really great sound and all just a bit repetitive like some parts good of been shorter or had more variety. Part of it is just that that type of music is just not my cup of tea though.
>just a bit repetitive like some parts good of been shorter or had more variety. Aw, sorry to hear you feel that way. It's definitely more percussion/rhythm focused that most of my other stuff. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Y’all are bangin! Song just gets better and better, guitars rippin and the vocal tracks sound great together, amazing track boss
Daniel Miller
Very cool song, nice vocals and good all around arrangement and execution. The recording itself could use a little work. Specifically, the snare sound. It's tuned too high and sounds dry. That is NOT the right snare sound for that song. 8.5/10
Pretty chill, feels like Metroid Prime in a good way. It doesn't really seem to go anywhere, which I suppose is the point. 7/10
Listened to a bit of 632 and 639. There were some ok beats, but I can tell you're not super experienced... Unless the wierd digital pops during the snare rolls on 632 and the bass drum absolutely slamming the master compression on 639 were all intentional. Keep with it user, I believe in you. 4/10
Not user, but basically: start as a kid, realize you have natural talent, literally have whole eras of your teen-early adult life where your day revolves around practicing, get lucky and meet others as dedicated as you, keep preserving. Basically if you took every minute in your life you spent on vidya and changed it to practicing and playing music, you'd be golden.

>7/10 First time someone's ever given me a number review. 7/10 is passing, I'll take it haha
user, making things like this is part of the creative process. But you shouldn't show these to anyone. Listen, making one's voice sound not cringy on a recording is very hard, and you did not succeed. The lyrics are trite and the guitar in the the second one was sloppy. I have recordings of myself from 10 years that are worse than this, so I'm not trying to rag on you too hard. But you need a lot more practice before you spread these around for the whole internet to hear. I hope you're posting under an assumed name. 1/10
Not bad or anything, you seem to have a decent idea wo drum beats are constructed. D2 reminds me of the 12/8 shuffle in Rosanna by Toto, were you going for that? If the machine you're working on lets you adjust dynamics(basically how loud or soft each individual drum hit is) you should experiment with that, it can really open up the sound. I don't really think a number rating applies on this one, so take this instead youtu.be/qmOLtTGvsbM
What drugs am I supposed to be on for this? 1/0 undefined

The band is tight, cool riffs, good drummer. I suspect I'm not the first to tell you that you need to find a real vocalist, or invest some serious time and effort into vocal lessons. There is definitely potential here. 7/10
First track: didn't care for it. Repetitive and that 3rd chord in the sequence (some breed of diminished?) felt out place. Skipped to the third song, which sounded like a ragtime version of Here Comes Santa Claus, very nice execution, even snuck those trills in at the end. What was the 4th one, Clair de Lune or something? Very nice somber playing, that shit takes more practice than a few days dicking around with a DAW that's for sure. 8/10, assuming you didn't write or arrange those yourself.
I want to practice piano more because no matter how good at guitar you are, you're always that guy when you bust it out. But if you can play piano, you can be like in a hotel lobby or something and see that baby grand, your date sees you looking at it, asks if you play... Oh no I couldn't... Look at all the people... Then your date dares you and you gingerly break into some Chopin, gradually building up volume and speed, and then you are finished, a hotel lobby of 40 people are clapping classily. 100% chance of getting laid on that date.

Preciate you! Love y moi frfr

Pretty damn cool. In my opinion it could have used less of the bleeks and blorps. The melody is strong enough to stand on its own and you are quite a good singer who obviously knows how to process the vox signal and make it sit really nice in the mix. Gonna be honest, thought it was gonna blow during the 5 second arhythmic bleekblorp intro, but as soon as the vocal came in I liked it instantly. Personally I'd cut those bleeps down by about 50% or at least make them more in rhythm because right now they are just distracting from the vocal which should be front and center. Also quite jarring when the loop stops a couple times in the middle. Also needs a B section. 8/10 with potential for a 9
Oh this is chill as fuck. I started noodling around on my mandolin because the first 2/3 feels a little sparse. I was pleasantly surprised by the space organ outro and wanted more. 7.75/10 and I mean that in a good way. I just wanted a little more going on during the first part.
Benjamin Lee
Thanks for listening, leavin room for vocals then maybe add some more to fill out the track
big rec. love the atmosphere you bring in the tracks. boombap revival type stuff. keep it up. murk is awesome, 632 is even better - the snare rolls are sick as fuck. all of it gives me some reklews vibes
I enjoy some of the noises and textures you bring out. You could probably profit from more different and more evenly mixed layers with maybe some additional beats or whatever. reminds me a bit of a guy who used to post here - Ornate Exit. try his stuff on sc and you'll see why
Favorite so far, love the story telling, it keeps you listening and tight music Cute as fuck, kinda wanted 4 on the floor at the end but dope anyway Dug this at the end, wanted more of that type of sound, sonically my favorite in the thread.
new album "day of wrath" out now. also a note on the album "depressive suicidal black coffee" - it was published by mistake (hence the embarrassing working title) so i decided to leave it up for free for now. i'll remove it on November 12 - which is also the release date for my next album.
I like your voice and your flow, you're a storyteller and you know where to put your vowel sounds and shit, basically you are immediately interesting to listen to. Couple of things I noticed. On "hope this helps" you double tracked your vocals. That's why they're too loud on that track, you could just pull em down 3dB, go back to a solo vocal, or fuck with the eq. Vocal mix is good on the other tracks I listened to. I also noticed one line on "loner" that's slightly offbeat. It's jarring because your delivery is precise pretty much everywhere else. "I'm just not good enough and no one wants to listen" is the line. I would definitely tighten up those little details if you're trying to take these recordings to the next level. 8/10
Hope you're taking care of yourself out there, user.
Vocals are good and airy, I like the concept of the harmony vocals throughout, basically the vocals are definitely the best part. The mix could use some work,I think the main issue there is the bass guitar and bass drum are fighting each other. The drum is too punchy and the bass guitar is barely audible but still manages to clash for sonic bandwith w the kick. Maybe try changing the kick sample? Also doesn't seem like the bass line and kick have much to do with each other musically. They should be locking in and grooving a lot more closely. 7/10
>mostly electronic >experimental >melodic >distort beats are sick idk if i like the vocals i shitton but it could be rly good, with more practise mixing vox i think
good guitar mixing and shit, instrumentally nice but again vox mixing could be more present/active sounding
chill beats, some dont have that much life to them tho, could add some spice
great soundscapes uve ended up with. rly cinematic and well done. . props
damn how tf u actually get it to sound old. pretty cool
Pretty good songs, even if a bit out of tune. We can blame the squier strats for that. Kickass tempo, good songwriting Often dissonant but not in the good way, sloppy and mixed poorly. The beats are good but they lack dynamics, which kinda stops me from feeling the heaviness of it, try bringing the lead synth volume down so the drums can POP. You could work on vocals, try bringing a bit more power into the songs instead of whispering, use your diaphragm. I'd say even at this point you're still better than lot of the soundcloud rappers on デーモンAstari.
I'd appreciate a bit more progression, layering and harshness. It's like musique concréte, but it's moving really slowly, with only minor progressions. I like Depressive Suicidal Black Coffee better Oh shit this is a cool song, love the guitar tone.
didn't listen to the whole album yet but here's what I can say from the first 5 minutes: very comfy to listen to, love the sound textures and the method you used. also reminds me a lot of all these cheap vintage movies I used to watch on desperate teenage summers
You guys have probably seen me in multiple shill threads, but you know self promotion etc.
All support and feedback is very appreciated and the positive feedback I have received has been very humbling. All follows, likes, shares, purchases, comments, etc. mean a lot to me.
RECS: I actually really really liked this. It's not complicated, and it communicates a futuristic/robotic feel very well.
I felt the guitar a tad cheesy in combination with the chord progression, but the constant marimba sound, although staying the same throughout, never got tiresome. When you listen more and more you get more comfortable with the track and kinda reminds me of old This Will Destroy You.
I always rec your stuff when you post, it's just great. Lo-fi, unexpected, fun, serious at times. It's a really fun record.
Hey. I am obsessed with your album and the production and am literally begging you to produce for me ahaha. My Instagram is boyvirgooo and my music is on Spotify under Boy Virgo
I actually don't think the drums go on for too long. It lets others do their own thing on top without having to loop it. I did the same thing in Stained Glass Money where the repetetive lead-out beat is more than half of the track.
What I like most about your track: the thin, violin-like synth motif behind the beat like in youtube.com/watch?v=4pBo-GL9SRg
What I like least: there are no surprises or changing-up, but that goes with the melancholic hazy mood
Connor Mitchell
thats some fucking heat had do do it 2 em get this produced better and itll be iconic user i promise
Yo, your mommy was high on cocaine when she got fucking prego, yo Just fucking, shit, dude, dude, [inaudible] fucking Dude, she was on fucking molly, bitch, yo She was fucking seeing angels and shit, yo It was all a fucking metaphor in her fucking head when you fucking Mm, when you fucking came into this fucking world Yo girl, yo, you were the fucking product of fucking heaven and hell Meeting together for a fucking hell of a night, Yo, the fucking hell of a night, motherfucking hell of a fucking night in heaven Yo, mmm Yo, your mommy and I had a hell of a fucking night in heaven, girl, mmmm-m! Yo, when you got conceived, you... and... ah, fuck
If anyone can make out the [inaudible] that would be so cool
rec wholesome extremely nutty bass. looking forward to the ep. followed. gonna listen to this whole album based on the sample track. Quality noise here. rec
Like: beat and vocals switching up at 1:00 and 1:48; double entendre about "looking fly" after priming the listener by mentioning reincarnation as animals, double entendre about "waving goodbye" (hand vs wings) after priming with the fly
Dislike: the lyrics being hard to make out, but it goes with the territory of the style and you have lyrics on screen so no biggie
Like: eerie, synth organ in a cathedral, funeral mass mood; waveform being super smooth and almost comforting, that certain allure in the embrace of death
Dislike: no changing-up. a way to do it would be inserting sorrowful vocals in the second half such as those in Dead Can Dance - The Host of Seraphim youtube.com/watch?v=7iqxzURgQWg
Hudson Price
in Thoughts
Like: the red-herring start as a relaxed track quickly moving to hard-pounding beat within the first 15 seconds, then to even harder by 45.
Dislike: vocals feel detached, she is not using her lungs and emotion, just going through the lines.
Asher Price
Like: catchy progression, beat makes you move, some changing-up, lyrics in step with beat and part of it, stays in your head after listening
Dislike: lack of even more changing-up; however, it's excusable for a 2:35 track. When you push 4 though you have to do different things to keep the listener on his toes. The biggest appeal of Travis Scott's Sicko Mode is the rich tapestry of sound and approaches
Chase Phillips
Anime bitches
Like: the sniff at 0:11, laugh at 1:20, short and sweet, rawness
Dislike: predictable lyrics and delivery once you start
Protip: lose the beat, freeball it vocals only
David Jenkins
"I define my musical genre as "Autismcore". It's a musical movement defined by strong connections to internet memes and culture, low production value, intentionally weird/cringy lyrics and a laughable, overdramatic vocal delivery often featuring crying, shouting and screaming for comedic effect."
Listened to some more tracks and you perfectly live up to your mission statement, cringe on user I am feeling it. Low production value and rawness are so appealing to me right now since they're all I can do on my own (soundcloud.com/ez-cheeze)
>get this produced better and itll be iconic user i promise It kinda needs better drums, I can help you out with that
Owen Davis
I really liked the beginning, it started off fucking good, then I was a bit disappointed that the theme stayed the same for the rest of the song, and it can be said about the rest of the songs. I think you should make coherent songs with these melodies and riffs, you'd be a pop icon
Nicholas Murphy

Levi Myers
My voice has a high pitch, my other track MIAMI DIRT NAP is a practically as aggressive as I can get without sounding like an absolute retard.
Jackson Clark
Always working on beats, here's an old one I mashed up with some salsa and new Brockhampton track
youtube.com/watch?v=ItRLJ7EOCu8 >lofi >electronic >gothic very nice i really like these sounds sounds like a viper instrumental love this, sample material
Pretty good. The synths go great with that 808. Some Yung Lean vibes. Just hate that flute sounding synth. So high pitched and loud. Good track anyways.
Pretty good. I get a feeling you tried, but didn't put a lot of effort in it and that resonates with me. Catchy melody, and shout out to Texas my dude I listened to infinity, reZ, and amidnsill. Good tracks, but the about me section is questionable in regerds to the music.
The Jim Jones sample is a good nice
James Hughes
>i really like these sounds Thanks man! Your stuff is neat too. Do you have a soundcloud?
Lincoln Carter
Not bad, gonna download some of your stuff later. How the hell do you release so much music?
I love every sound in this but one thing I'll say is everything is really clean and distinct. Don't be afraid to put parts of your sound in the background to make the parts you find important really stand out. >But every sound in the song is important! I couldn't agree more, but when everything is amazing, nothing really is.
Liam Cook
Some pretty cool sample work in here, really dig the more abstract take on how samples should be used. It is kinda of muddy in spots and I'm not sure if that's what you're going for but it's still pretty dang enjoyable
Wow Incredible sounds here You're definitely going in the right direction, wherever you're trying to go. I'd say you should try to find a vocalist to help you with the timing of your transitions. It kinda feels like you're unsure when to let go of one mood and go into another and often times a vocalist is the perfect answer for that. Hell, even if you can't sing, try writing melodies to go over your tracks, even if you don't want to include them in the final product.
Ian Hernandez
Another really great track. The only thing I can really say is to try stretching your instrumentals out a bit. You have really really great vocals but when they take up so much of the song you tend to take them for granted. Let us miss what we want to hear, ya know?
Jason Garcia
Please turn down the high end of that mix for the world's ears sake
Justin Butler
thanks man, i do but i still gotta upload music, just using it to follow artists soundcloud.com/jamyekh
Liam Phillips
I really really like this. Genuinely have no criticism, which is super rare for me. Please keep making music.
Easton Perez
Your mix and overall soundscaping is really solid for the most part but it sounds like your vocalist isn't sure how they want to sound. The lyrics are very easy to understand but stylistically they're lacking. Makes me think, "who is this and why should I care about what he's saying?". With your subject matter, I doubt that's something you want people to think so work on finding a style of voice that gets people's attention that you enjoy listening to. Just like with most things, if you don't like the way it sounds, how can you expect anyone else to?
The problem with most modern rappers I feel is they just mimic what they like rather than trying to make the music theirs. Rap isn't just music for people with no talent that know how to rhyme. Rap is about having so much rhythmic and stylistic talent that you don't need to be melodic. Don't be like everyone else.
Don't be afraid to introduce more than one sound at a time. It sounds like you just add things to your loop and take them out, which is a fine way to write... But we don't need to know how you decided every sound you choose. Try creating soundstages then work on a couple of transitions that sound good to make us enjoy getting to where you want us to go.
Oliver White
thanks friend! im about to get much slower about releasing shit im just stupid crazy and a good amount of it is indulgent noise
Xavier Butler
You're almost there. Your vocal harmonies are off key and clashing. A little clashing here and there is fine but as often as you do it definitely puts at least me off to wanting to hear the rest of the track.
Ian Ross
These wet whaling vocals get really tiresome very quickly. Feels more like a gimmick than a style to carry an entire 6 minute track
Jaxon Smith
What part of this is music?
Lincoln Hernandez
I can tell how insecure you are about your voice. You'll have to get over that somehow. My advice? Stop thinking about how you want to sound, and start trying to change the way you currently sound.
Aiden Price
Why have a ten minute song if you don't have 10 minutes worth of ideas?
Sounds like if shy ronnie tried to make experimental
Elijah Hill
The low end is way too loud. Great arrangement and sound choice. Just needs a better mix.
Daniel Campbell
Not a fan of the reverse drop but otherwise great stuff here. Def rec.
Colton Sullivan

Matthew Powell
Your missing a lot of your drum pockets and you sound very monotone. Makes me question your confidence. Sounds like you're trying not to bother anyone which is almost the exact opposite of the spirit of rap.
Logan Watson
what do you mean by drum pocket? and do I sound monotone on the two new tracks I uploaded (Ultimatum and The Artist's Life)? I was trying to be more dynamic there.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Nathan Thomas
Try adding stuff in mid bar. Your stuff is a bit too predictable because it's just 4-8 beats then a change up. You have good sounds and change-ups but your arrangement needs work.
Sebastian Cox
Your vocalist's melodies get a bit boring pretty quick but I really love the organic sound and overall vibe of this.
Jason Watson
I really really like this genuinely. Most white rap is clingy but your delivery is really solid. Kinda gets repetitive after a while though. Don't have much advice sadly but I think you're heading in the right direction for sure.
Nathan Sanchez
>what do you mean by drum pockets? When doing spoken word or rap, you want the words to be rhythmic and the best way to do this is to accent certain words but also to make sure that your timing and rhyme scheme is consistent. In "The Artists Life" for example: At 1:09 The line "UNattachement to OUTcome so I DO NOT BE-COME" The syllables your stressing sound really awkward because you're not rhyming anything in those pockets but from 1:15-1:21 you hit four lines in a row with good accents on the parts that make the lyrics so rhythmic.
Monotone might be a bit of an overstatement but you definitely sound like someone in class reading something out loud for the first time. Maybe that means your lyrics aren't personal or familiar enough to you or maybe you just need to work on finding a style that isn't just your talking voice. That's up to you as an artist to figure out though. Hope this helped. Good luck!
That is ambient music after all, there can be intentionally no interest in a defined structure neither in a redundant repetition. Which actually you don't need in general, especially in experimental electronic music.
